--- Comment #5 from Robin Sheat <robin at catalyst.net.nz> ---
IMO, a syspref is a bad idea for a few reasons. 

1) Now you're removing flexibility and making things more awkward for that time
when you do need to exceed a pre-defined limit,
2) You're attempting to have people make decisions on the sorts of errors that
other people are likely to make. They have no reference on this, so won't
really be able to do anything meaningful with it,
3) We already have lots of system preferences and adding a new one for
something that doesn't really do anything (except interfere, as in #1) seems
like the wrong approach.

Validate by all means, but make it a soft validation. There's no point having a
hard limit. We're just trying to stop typos really.
